This course explores Brazil in the American hemisphere through comparative and transnational lenses. From the nineteenth century to today, we look at the ways that Brazilian politicians, intellectuals, icons, and everyday denizens have marked and interacted with the Spanish- and English-speaking Americas. We approach the hemisphere not as fixed and pre-given but rather as historically contingent and demarcated by power relations. Based in cultural and literary studies, history, and politics, we map how these shifting spaces were imagined by well-known personages, from the emperor Dom Pedro II to President Lula, writers such as José Bonifácio and Gilberto Freyre, as well as everyday activists from a range of social movements. With some attention to gender, race and sexuality, we follow Brazil across the hemisphere. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
